Candy this and candy that whenever I'm out walking

[purplerabbits]

Bored on Friday? Wanna help me think of some playlists?

Today I'm looking for:-

Songs with the word Candy in the title
Songs that are covers but which people assume are the original because the original is so obscure. Beaver Patrol is a classic example.
Cover versions of Kick Out The Jams, I know loads of people have covered it, but who?

(For extra points MP3s of tracks I haven't got would be very welcome, but strictly optional. I would do quite a lot for an MP3 of the original Beaver Patrol...)

Songs where I don't think the original's that obscure, but I've encountered people who didn't know about it:

Captain Sensible - Happy Talk
The Pet Shop Boys - Always on my Mind (and Where the Streets Have No Name, but that's just silly)
Kirsty MacColl - A New England
Doctor and the Medics - Spirit in the Sky

Donovan did Candy Man too... also I'm thinking in the latter category Black Box Recorder's 'Lord Lucan is Missing' is not an original, though it's probably almost as obscure.
